Salman has a collection of images and diagrams that help describe the sizes of the sun and planets and the relative distances between them.

After the previous video in this series, class members should have a general grasp of the relative sizes of the Earth and the Sun. This video provides further information about the distances between the planets and offers a sense of...

Can you name all of the planets in our galaxy in order from the sun? The young astronomers in this video demonstrate how they memorized the planets.

Don't forget to protect your skin when you are out in the sun! Students explain why it is important to avoid UV rays and how to properly protect skin.

Taking somewhat of a humorous, paranoid viewpoint, this video explores the question of whether or not space objects are likely to take us out. From asteroids, to the sun dying out, to the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, the...

This flick opens by revealing the enormity and extreme heat of the sun through a very old-fashioned cartoon. A solar eclipse is explained by Mr. Nye, and a safe way to examine an image of the sun is demonstrated. That's the extent of...

This clip goes into the classroom and shows how real kids learn about the sun. NASA does a great job showing how important astronomy and sun science are to learning.

Learn how our knowledge of the Sun has evolved over the centuries, and how today's technological advances have given us a wealth of information about solar phenomena such as the northern lights, sunspots, and solar radiation. (Video...

How would you describe the sun? See if your description changes after viewing this video by NASA. You will learn about the layers of the sun and how we are protected from the sun's activity. Along with a full-length video [5:25], an...

Where does the sun go at night? Come along with PEEP as he sets out to find this answer. Along the way, learn some interesting facts about the sun and shadows. Extensive teaching tips and additional activities are also included. [8:50]

This video and follow up questions shares the scientific discovery of man-made fusion. [6:36]

Playing with shadows can be fun, but do you know where shadows come from? Watch this PEEP video and experiment making different shadows to understand how the absence of light forms shadows. Teaching tips with additional activities are...

Learn how the Arctic is a part of a global climate system in this video segment adapted from the National Film Board of Canada.

This brief video segment produced for Teachers' Domain features time-lapse video of a sunrise and a sunset. [1:06]

A look at the 'comfort zone' humans live in, and the interplay of life and the biosphere. [9:58]

Phil takes us for a closer look at the two-octillion-ton star that rules our solar system. We look at the sun's core, plasma, magnetic fields, sunspots, solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and what all of that means for our planet....

In this episode, Phil breaks down what happens during a solar and lunar eclipse and provides tips for safely viewing a solar eclipse. Learn how the Ancient Greeks calculated a close estimation of the earth and moon's actual size two...

Take a look at the explosive history of our cosmic backyard. We explore how we went from a giant ball of gas to the system of planets and other celestial objects we have today. [9:57]

In this video segment adapted from KUAC, find out why the horizon in Alaska is sometimes shrouded in pollution and what it means for climate change in the Arctic.

University of Nottingham scientists discuss the characteristics of the Sun, which, in spite of it being crucial to life on Earth, is very ordinary. Learn why. [5:42]

Learn why photons, electric fields, silicon, and electrons are important when it comes to generating electricity from sunlight in solar panels. [1:15]

It might look like a solid object, but the Sun is very different from Earth. Find out what it's made of, and how reactions inside the Sun generate all that energy and drive powerful solar storms. [3:22]

The Sun is a reliable energy source that we can harness and convert into electricity in several ways. So why are renewable and clean solar energy systems not used more widely? [3:00]

Renewable energy sources might just be the answer to a sustainable future. What makes an energy source renewable, and how can we use these sources to power our societies well into the future? [2:44]
